What a crock, I don't believe Kiffin for a minute. "I had a deal with the official" right, sure. Secondly, why didn't the coaching staff instruct the player to go down at mid field and then take a time-out? Poor coaching and Kiffiin is a douche.

Yeah, they enforced the hold from the end of the run. Not sure how they came up with that decision. You could tell that Kiffen was told by someone up in the booth that that was not right, but he had no idea as to why. He just kept saying "the spot, the spot". If a real coach had seen that they would be 30 feet out on the field or called a timeout to make sure that they got that right.

Kiffin & U$C didn't deserve to even be in the position where there would be a question on if there was 1 second and a timeout called or not. I think it was 2-3 plays before the last play where U$C got away with an obvious hold that wasn't called. If that gets called, U$C never gets a chance to be "screwed"

But, I've got to say that in general, I've never seen as across the board crappy officiating as I do when I watch P12 football. Doesn't matter the team(s), the officials manage to consistently suck.
